S1 SPORT SUFFOLK PREMIER CUP FIRST ROUND

Kirkley and Pakefield 7 Walsham-le-Willows 1

KIRKLEY hammered Walsham-le-Willows for seven in their S1 Sport Suffolk Premier Cup first round tie on Wednesday.

Kirkley, who started the match with Simon Cambridge in the right back position after two years out of the game with a knee injury, took the lead after 35 minutes when Nathan Stone netted the first of his three goals after being fed by Jamie Stokeld.

Walsham had a brief sauté at the beginning of the second half but with 13 minutes gone a superb Jamie Stokeld corner fell to Chris Henderson who stabbed the ball into the net. Following another corner three minutes later it became 3-0 with Stone, in space, striking the ball past Mustoe.

Stokeld fed Stone to smash in his hat-trick on 66 minutes and then Walsham got a goal back through substitute Mat Dixon who raced through like a greyhound and planted the ball past Pauling.

Kirkley substitute Danny Stokeld made it 5-1 five minutes from time before Liam Cooper centred for Jordon Blythe to get on the scoresheet in a vintage Kirkley passing display. Danny Stokeld scored his second and Kirkley's seventh when he curled the ball past Mustoe.

This victory sets up a second round tie at home to Woodbridge on November 14.
